SeEun Lee / Ken Ganfield / Petr Vrba
Audiovisual, electroacoustic and mechanical exploration of improvisational relationships
SeEun Lee is using magnets, minerals, particles and other physical objects to interpret sounds into images. On the other hand Ganfield and Vrba convert electronic (synthesazors) and acoustic (wind instruments) streams into sound part of the magical dance of magnets. They can dance toward or away from each other. On a large scale, there's the Earth's gravitational attraction. On a smaller scale, iron filings draw out patterns shaped by magnets. Using the polarity of magnets, Lee draws out the relationships of everyday objects.
